Hotmail Chain E-Mail
(Unused Accounts Hoax)

This is a widespread chain letter that claims that Hotmail
is running out of space. It is just a hoax and a Chain E-Mail. Ignore it and bin
it. In many ways this is similar to the older Hotmail
Charge hoax.

There is no such way to track e-mail (yet) it's just a hoax.
How spamming 15 people can ensure your Hotmail account doesn't get closed seems
a case of negative logic, as sending spam from your Hotmail account is likely to
get your account canceled!

The only
people this might help are those that send spam (Bulk Mail) as you are providing
them with information that your Hotmail account is valid and in use, and
therefore you are worth more to them when they sell on your e-mail address.

Below is the hoax newsletter that is being received:
